Gov. John Kasich joined U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of West Chester and others yesterday in
Tipp City for Abbott Laboratories’ ceremonial groundbreaking on its $270 million facility
there.

Abbott will employ 241 people and generate $12 million in new payroll at the plant, where it
will make its Ensure, Glucerna and Similac products. The company will receive a 15-year, 75 percent
job-creation tax credit valued at about $4.4 million from the state, as well as additional state
loans and grants totaling about $3.9 million, Kasich’s staff said.
